Our Ever Changing Earth We will make a PowerPoint presentation about how the earth changes. This would be the title page and needs to include your name.

How does the earth change? This is our overall essential question We will answer this by asking these unit questions: What are ways that the earth changes? What causes these changes? How do these changes alter landforms? How do these changes affect people?

Definition On the first page, you will need to give a definition of how the earth changes. An example: An earthquake is the sudden movement and shaking of the ground.

Cause The next page needs to explain the cause the changes. How or why does this occur? Example: An earthquake is caused when the ground along a fault slips.

Changing Landforms The next page needs to explain how your changes affects landforms. This can be sudden changes, or long changes that occur over time. Example: An earthquake causes the ground to move – from a few inches to many feet. Over time this movement can form mountains and change the course of rivers.

How are people affected? The next page will explain how people are affected by these changes. Example: Earthquakes are often tragic because they can cause severe damage to homes and buildings.

Fun Facts / Works cited You can include a page of interesting things that you learned doing research for your presentation. You will also need to include a page that cites all of your information source for your report. Think of this as a bibliography for your PowerPoint.

Why do I need to learn this? Our earth is constantly changing. This will help you to understand how and why this occurs. This project will be fun and exciting. You will use technology as a creative tool to display your learning. Good luck and have fun!
